Description

For the flux composition of steel galvanizing
Technical field
The present invention relates to zinc-plated field, relate more specifically to galvanizing or galvanizing coating.Particularly, the present invention relates to the zinc-plated of iron material, such as but not limited to iron, cast iron, steel and cast steel.More specifically, the present invention relates to a series of flux composition, its surface for processing iron material (as iron and steel) before the molten bath immersing based on zinc.The present invention also relates to (1) galvanized method, in at least one procedure of processing, use particularly the galvanizing of flux composition, and (2) zinc-plated product, comprise the zinc-plated iron product (for example, band steel and long product made from steel) by manufacturing by the method for fluxing agent compositions-treated product surface.
background of invention
As everyone knows; provide protection to prevent iron (as iron and the steel) goods that use out of doors; for example, as the importance of fence, metal wire, bolt, cast iron bend pipe and trolley part corrosion, and to apply iron material with zinc be the very effective and economic mode achieving this end.Conventionally by immersing or making to need the goods of coating to implement spelter coating through the molten bath of metal.This operation is called as term " zinc-plated ", " pot galvanize " or " galvanizing " (HDG) so that itself and zinc electro-plating method are distinguished.In this method, product surface form the cured layer of zinc and the spelter coating that forms thus by the mutual alloy of iron/zinc that forms in galvanizing process and the surperficial mortise of goods.Oxide compound or other foreign matters (" dirt (soil) ") on steel work surface can disturb the chemical property of galvanized method and stop even, the continuous coating without hole of formation.Therefore the combination that, has adopted various technology and technology in industry is to reduce as much as possible, to eliminate or at least to adapt to oxide compound and dirt.
Can realize by the alloy of zinc and aluminium and/or magnesium the character improvement of galvanizing production.Add the aluminium of 5 % by weight to produce compared with the alloy of low melting point (eutectoid point is at 381 ℃), it shows the discharging properties (drainage property) of improvement with respect to pure zinc.In addition, the coating that the galvanizing coating producing with this Zn-Al alloy forms than substantially pure zinc has plasticity and the better coating property of stronger erosion resistance, improvement.But zinc-aluminium is zinc-plated is responsive especially for surface clearness, to such an extent as to runs into all difficulties when at zinc-plated middle use Zn-Al alloy, as inadequate steel surface wettability.
In industry, adopt a lot of technology and combination thereof to reduce as much as possible, to eliminate or at least to adapt to oxide compound and dirt.Substantially in all these methods, first by making to want the surface of coating to contact (alkali cleaning) removal organic dirt (as oil, grease, antirust compound) with alkaline water lotion.This can be by other technology as scrubbed, supersound process and/or electricity wash realization.Then water rinses, and makes surface contact to remove iron particle and oxide compound (pickling) with acidic aqueous washing lotion, and final water rinses again.For most of galvanizing techniques, the method for all these washing-pickling-flushing is routine and industrial or accurately or roughly implements.
The another kind of pretreatment process for high-strength steel, high carbon steel, cast iron and cast steel is the mechanical cleaning method that is called sandblast (blasting).In this method, by the little particle of the jet surface to this steel or iron and grit, from this surface removal iron rust or dirt.According to the shape of parts to be processed, size and thickness, use different sandblast machines as the upset sandblast machine for bolt, for passage sandblast machine of trolley part etc.
On clean metal (as iron or steel) parts, use two kinds of main galvanizing techniques: (1) melting method, and (2) Annealing furnace method.
First galvanizing technique, i.e. melting method, itself can be divided into two classifications, dry melting method and wet melting method.
Dry melting method, it can be combined with one or more in above-mentioned cleaning, pickling or sandblast scheme, forms salt deposit by metal parts being immersed to the water bath (being called " pre--flux (pre-flux) ") that contains chloride salt on ferrous metal surface.Afterwards, dry this layer before zinc-plated operation, thereby protection steel surface is avoided being again oxidized, it immerses fused zinc bathes.Like this pre--flux contains watersoluble chlorinated zinc and optional ammonium chloride conventionally, have been found that its existence improved the wetting properties of product surface fused zinc and therefore promote to form evenly, continuously, without the coating in hole.
The wet concept melting is to replace zinc-plated bath with top flux (top flux), and described top flux also generally includes zinc chloride and frequent ammonium chloride, but in this case, these salt are on top melting and that swim in zinc-plated bath.To pre--flux is similar, the object of top flux is to provide zinc chloride and preferred ammonium chloride to improve wetting properties in zinc-plated to system.In this case, when steel part is through top flux layer and while immersing zinc-plated still, all remaining oxide on surface and dirts after cleaning-pickling-flushing are all removed.Wet melting has some shortcomings, as compares the dry much more zinc of consumption that melts, and produces much more flue gas etc.Therefore, today, their technique was changed into dry melting method in most zinc-plated factory.
It is below the general introduction of Annealing furnace method.In use zinc or zinc-aluminium or the continuation method of zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy as zinc-plated medium, under reducing atmosphere, (as the mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen) anneals.This has not only eliminated the surperficial oxidation again of cleaning before, pickling and flushing, has in fact also removed any residual oxide on surface and the dirt that may still exist simultaneously.Most steel ring today (steel coil) is zinc-plated according to this method.Very important requirement is that steel ring is not having under any contact with air, leaves Annealing furnace by directly entering continuously fused zinc.But this requirement makes it for the parts that are shaped, or for steel wire, use this technology extremely difficult, because steel wire breakage is too frequent and Annealing furnace method does not allow to be interrupted.
Another technology for the production of zinc-aluminium galvanizing coating comprises and (if 0.5-0.7 μ zinc m) is to steel work electricity-coating (being hereinafter called " pre--apply "), dryly in the process furnace of air atmosphere then immersing in zinc-plated still through pre--goods of applying with thin layer.This in the hot-dip coating of the steel pipe of continuous lines, be widely used and in production at steel bar usage degree lower.Although this does not require under reducing atmosphere and process, its shortcoming is to require other metal-coating step.
Implement zinc-plated with batchwise operation or operate continuously.Operate continuously is implemented conventionally on the goods that can carry out this type operations, as metal wire, sheet material, bar, pipe etc.In operate continuously, between continuous treatment step, the transfer of goods is very fast and automatically completes continuously, and operator are on the scene to deal with problems with supervisory work with when problem occurs.The production capacity of operate continuously is very high.Relate to make use pre--flux then in process furnace in dry continuous zinc coating line, from pre--flux tank, shift out goods to immersing time of consuming zinc-plated bath conventionally in about 10-60 second, rather than 10-60 minute in batch processes.
Batchwise operation is quite difficult.In the lower and zinc-plated part of production capacity, in shape more under complicated situation, batchwise operation is preferred.For example, the steel part of various manufactures, structural steel shape and steel pipe are preferably zinc-plated in batchwise operation.In batchwise operation, need the parts of processing by be manually transferred in each continuous treatment step in batches, be not almost with or without and relate to automatic operation.This is illustrated in time that each several part in concrete treatment step stops will be much larger than the time in operate continuously, and more significantly, there is larger variation the time in time and operate continuously between continuous treatment step.For example, in the batch processes of common galvanized steel pipe, a collection of nearly 100 steel pipes are bathed in (pre-flux bath) and are immersed and transfer to platform upper feeding by each one of the mode of manual operation crane afterwards at pre--flux together, enter in zinc-plated bath.
Due to the step between batchwise operation and operate continuously and scale difference, in a generic operation, useful especially technology is not inevitable useful in another kind of technology.For example, in business or technical scale, the use of reductibility process furnace only limits to operate continuously.Meanwhile, it is valuable that the high throughput rate relating in continuation method makes to preheat for providing additional heat to zinc-plated bath.In batch processes, time of lag is longer and throughput rate is lower, and therefore the heat energy consumption speed of zinc-plated bath is much lower.
There is the demand of the good plasticity of ferrous metal goods and the non-corrosibility combination of enhancing.But, before the alloy coat based on zinc that contains a large amount of aluminium (or optional, magnesium) can be introduced into common zinc-plated industry, must overcome difficulty below:
-contain high aluminium content zinc alloy almost can not with standard zinc-aluminium muriate flux produce.Previously propose to contain metal Cu or the sedimental flux of Bi, there is no magnetism but copper or bismuth infiltrate the possibility of zinc bath.Therefore, need better flux.
The alloy of-high aluminium content is tending towards forming the explosion of the mutual alloy of zinc-iron, and this is disadvantageous in zinc-plated last stages.This phenomenon causes very thick, uncontrolled and coarse coating.The control of explosion is completely essential.
-in the Zn-Al alloy that contains high aluminium content, report before wetting properties problem, may be owing to comparing the surface tension that pure zinc is larger.Therefore because the bad moistening of steel is easy to form bare spot, and therefore need to reduce the surface tension of melt.
-in the Zn-Al alloy that contains high aluminium content, report the poorly controlled of coat-thickness, this may depend on as the parameter of quality of temperature, flux composition, immersion time, steel etc.

In fact, can process in this way the metallic surface that is easy to arbitrarily corrosion, the iron of for example any type or steel work.Shape (whether flat), geometrical shape (whether complexity) or the size of metal products are not important parameters of the present invention.Need zinc-plated goods can be called as long products.To refer to that at least 10 times of the dimensions (length) of product are greater than two other other dimension (relative with flat product for term " long products " herein, at least 10 times of two dimensions (length and width) are greater than thickness, i.e. the 3rd dimension) as, whether curling metal wire is (, be used for production example as bolt and fence), bar, bobbin, strengthen rod, pipe (welding or seamless), guide rail, structural shape and part (for example I-shaped steel, H-shaped steel, L-shaped steel, T-shaped steel etc.), or the pipeline of any dimension, for example, for civil construction, mechanical engineering, the energy, transportation (railway, electric car), family expenses and furniture.Need zinc-plated metal products can be also, be not limited to the form with flat product, as flat board, plate, panel, from slab, (50-250mm is thick, 0.6-2.6m is wide, and at most 12m are long) the hot rolling bar of rolling and cold rolling (width 600mm and more than, or lower than 600mm, provide with routine coiling coil or overlapping layer) and can be used for automobile, heavy-duty machinery, building, packing and electrical equipment.
In any galvanized method, be important on the surface of implementing to melt before step the zinc-plated goods of cleaning requirement suitably.Realizing the technology of the surface cleaning of desirability and know for those skilled in the art, and can repeat, clean as alkalescence, is then that water rinses, with pickling and last water flushing.Although these all programs are known, explanation is below to exist for complete object.
Can carry out easily alkali cleaning as the water-based alkaline compositions of washing assistant and kinds of surface promoting agent with also containing phosphoric acid salt and silicate.The free basicity (free alkalinity) of this aqueous detergent can be very different.Therefore,, in initial manufacture step, metal products passes through at de-grease bath as the cleaning (de-oiling fat) in ultrasonic wave, the de-grease bath of alkalescence.Then,, in second step, rinse the metal products through de-oiling fat.Next step, the one or more following cleanup acid treatment of metal products process: at the temperature of 15 ℃-60 ℃, within the time of 1-90 minute (preferably 3-60 minute), pass through in water-based strong acid media, for example hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, and the optionally immersion in the situation that of iron protochloride and/or iron(ic) chloride existence.Conventionally use acid concentration for about 5-15 % by weight, as 8-12 % by weight, but also can use denseer acid.In continuation method, pickling time conventionally in the 5-30 scope of second, is more typically in 10-15 second.In order to prevent over-pickling, in bathing, pickling can comprise at least one corrosion inhibitor, normally cats product or amphoterics, is generally 0.02-0.2 % by weight, preferably the amount of 0.05-0.1 % by weight.Can simply immerse pickling tank by goods and complete pickling.Also can use other procedure of processing.For example, energy machinery or ultrasonic agitation goods, and/or electric current can flow through goods for electricity-pickling.As everyone knows, these extra technology modes significantly shorten the time of pickling conventionally.Significantly, if needed, these pre-treatment step can separately or be cycled to repeat until reach the clean-up performance needing.Then, preferably after cleaning, process immediately (melting) metal products, for example, in melting of the present invention is bathed, preferably under above-mentioned total salt concentration, temperature and time condition, soak, thereby form protective membrane on its surface.
Metal (as iron or the steel) goods that melt, after soaking in melting is bathed within the suitable time and at suitable temperature, are preferably dried subsequently.According to the condition of prior art, the dry metal products that can melt by transfer is through having air atmosphere, the process furnace of for example forced air flow tells on, wherein heating of metal goods at the temperature of 220 ℃-250 ℃, until its surface shows the temperature between 170 ℃ and 200 ℃, for example, maintain 5-10 minute.But, also surprisingly find that the heating condition of milder is more applicable in the time using flux composition of the present invention or its any embodiment.
Therefore it may be enough that the surface that, has been found that metal in drying step (as steel) goods shows the temperature of 100 °-200 ℃.This can also can realize by the atmosphere that uses weak oxide in drying step by for example using the Heating temperature of 100 ℃-200 ℃ to realize this.In an embodiment of the invention, the surface temperature of metal products can be from 100 ℃-160 ℃, or 125-150 ℃, or 140-170 ℃.In another embodiment, dry can be at 0.5-10 minute, or tell in the time of 1-5 minute.In another embodiment, dry can telling in specific gas atmosphere, as the air atmosphere that dewaters, nitrogen atmosphere or except Shuifu County's nitrogen air atmosphere (if nitrogen gas concn is wherein more than 20%) dewaters.
In the next step of galvanized method, melting and dry metal products are dipped in the zinc-plated bath of molten zinc-based, to form metallic coating on goods.As everyone knows, the immersion time can depend on that one group of parameter limits, comprise the size and dimension (as flat or long) of goods, the coat-thickness of needs and definite composition, particularly aluminium content (in the time using Zn-Al alloy as zinc-plated bath) or the Mg content (in the time using Zn-Al-Mg alloy as zinc-plated bath) that zinc is bathed.In one embodiment, the zinc-plated bath of molten zinc-based can comprise (a) 4-24 % by weight (as 5-20 % by weight) aluminium, (b) 0.5-6 % by weight (as 1-4 % by weight) magnesium, and (c) all the other are zinc substantially.In another embodiment, the zinc-plated bath of molten zinc-based can comprise other elements of trace (1.0 % by weight are following) or trace (being inevitable impurity), such as but not limited to, silicon (as many as 0.3 % by weight), tin, lead, titanium or vanadium.In another embodiment, can in this treatment step of a part, stir the zinc-plated bath of molten zinc-based.In this step, the zinc-plated bath of zinc-base preferably remains in the temperature range of 360 ℃-600 ℃.Surprisingly find that the temperature that uses flux composition of the present invention can reduce immersion step obtains the thin protective coating of high-quality simultaneously; can within the time extending, keep its protectiveness effect; as 5 years or more; or even 10 years or more, this depends on the type (atmospheric moisture, temperature etc.) of envrionment conditions.Therefore, in an embodiment of the invention, zinc-plated molten zinc-based bath is remained on to 350 ℃-550 ℃, or 380-520 ℃, or in the temperature range of 420-520 ℃, optimum temps depends on the aluminium that optionally exists in the bath based on zinc and/or the content of magnesium.In another embodiment of galvanized method of the present invention, at the temperature between 380 ℃ and 440 ℃, implement to immerse, and the zinc-plated bath of described molten zinc-based comprises (a) 4-7 % by weight aluminium, (b) 0.5-3 % by weight magnesium, and (c) all the other are zinc substantially.
In an embodiment of the invention, can be 5-50 μ m, for example 8-30 μ m by the thickness at the protective coating obtaining by the upper enforcement immersion of the pretreated metal products of flux composition of the present invention (as ferrous products or steel work) step.This can be selected suitably by those skilled in the art; depend on series of parameters, comprise that the thickness of metal products and/or shape, metal products estimate the expectation weather resistance in the time of the protective coating of the pressure of tolerance and envrionment conditions, formation etc. in its life-span.The coating that for example 5-15 μ m is thick is suitable for the steel work thick lower than 1.5mm, and the thick coating of 20-35 μ m is suitable for exceeding the steel work that 6mm is thick.
Finally, metal (as iron or steel) goods remove and are cooling from zinc-plated bath.This cooling step can be immersed in the water or make simply its cooling enforcement easily in air by zinc-plated metal products.
Have been found that hot dip galvanizing method of the present invention allows on iron or steel work (flat product and long products) continuously or in batches deposition thinner, more evenly, more smoothly and not containing the protective coating in hole, when the zinc-aluminium that especially contains the zinc that is no more than 95% when use or the zinc-plated bath of zinc-aluminium-magnesium.For roughness, the quality of coatingsurface is equal to or better than the quality reaching according to the conventional H DG zinc layer of EN ISO1461 (using other metals that are no more than 2% in zinc is bathed).For erosion resistance, coating of the present invention reaches approximately 1000 hours, its approximately 600 hours of reaching far above the conventional H DG zinc layer according to EN ISO1461 in the salt spray test of ISO9227.In addition, also can use in the present invention the zinc-plated bath of pure zinc.
